SNAP-BUTTON.

Application iled March 18, 1911.

The plate a has 0n front an upwardlydished edge which gradually tapersaway to nothing toward the rear part. a. The other member lchas a flatupper face a cup or socket f andvsprings gvwhich project into To allwhom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, MAGDA ERNnsTINEi Emsa Pnnrzorn, a subject of theGerman` Emperor, and ,resident of No. Z1/23 Kolonnaden, Hamburg,Germany, have invented certain new and A useful .Improvement-s in i thecup as shown, so as to retain the knob b Snap-Buttons, of which thefollowing is a when the button is fastened. Holes (Z are specification.provided in both members, close to the edge,

This invention relates to snap buttons for for the purpose of sewing themembers to articles of'dress, gloves, bags, purses and the material.Additional perforations are the like and has for object improvementstherein, whereby an exceptionally simple and inexpensive snap button isrealized having the advantage of holding the pieces to be attacheddirectly one on top of the other with the button invisible.

The invention consists in an improved snap button in which one member isa plate having an upwardly dished edge tapering to nothing at the rearside ofthe plate, and the other member, engaging with the first by theusual -knob device, is covered by the said first member, the d-ishededge of which fits y closely around the peri hery of the second memberand provides a secure hold. o The holes by means of which the buttonsproximity to the upper edge thereof.

In use, one member a, is attached to one part 7i of, say, an article ofdress, by means of thread z' passing through the holes d, the clothhwhich is folded over in front, lying over the edge c and coveringtherefore the member a of the button. The other member e is attached tothe other similarly folded part 7c of the article of dress. When thebutton isbeing fastened the member a, fits closely over the member c,the fastened snap button being invisible.

What I claim is z- A snap button comprising a fiat base having a studand an upturned rim which is perforated at its its upper edge, said baseand rim-edge gradually approaching each other from said front portiontoward the rear of the base and the rear edge of the base lying in thesame plane as the'f edge of the'upturned rim, the base being adapted tobe overlaid by one section of the garment, while part o said section isdrawn against the outerside of the uptiirned perforated rim portion whensewn thereto, having a iiat upper face adapted to be bodily received bythe base within its rim to ene gage the stud, said socketed member beingbe fastened are situated close to the rim of the dished edge of thebutton, so that the material lies closely around the dished edge.

Tith this improved arrangement on engagement of the two members thepieces to be attached lie directly one on top -of the other and thebutton is invisible, while the dished edge on the front of the onebutton member resi sts any pull exerted on the other member, so' that asecurer hold is -obtained and springing loose of the button prevented.

Two constructions of the improved snap button are illustrated by way-ofexample in the accompanying drawings, which are considerably more thanfull size. section, whereby the base and the socketed- Figures l to 3illustrate a lozenge shaped member, are concealed 'when the button isbutton in inverted plan, sectional view closed. v
